DistroWatch reports - The fourth test release of the upcoming Ubuntu Linux 5.10 Breezy Badger is available for download and testing: Colony CD 4 is ready. This will be the last Colony CD release before the Breezy preview, so any testing you can provide is appreciated. If you test it, be sure to send us a report to ubuntu-devel at lists.ubuntu.com. Significant installer changes since Colony 3 include: many fixes to the live CD, including usplash integration; GRUB tries harder to boot even when the BIOS fails to pass a boot drive; APT configuration when the network is unavailable should now be much faster...
OSDir has put together a screenshot tour of Ubuntu Linux 5.10 Colony 4.
The Distro may very well be an improvement over the last, but, I'll be darned if I can see that from the screenshots... Why do people insist on posting YABD (yet another boring desktop) just for the sake of doing it?
I have it installed and here is some of the new stuff I have noticed:
1) Better gui network setup utility
2) User friendly add/delete package manager which sits on top of synaptics
3)Launchpad integration so that many gnome apps have a Ubuntu help page accessible through their menus
4) music (mp3 etc) burning support with a nice new gui
5) Better integration of sound into gnome
6) At the code level: Modularization of X and use in some places of gcc-4.0
